Question

What happens when a diaphragm is ruptured in an accident?

Answer 1

Diaphragmatic rupture (also called diaphragmatic injury or tear) is a tear of the diaphragm, the muscle across the bottom of the ribcage that plays a crucial role in respiration. Most commonly, acquired diaphragmatic tears result from physical trauma.
Simply, if the diaphragm ruptures then the person will not be able to breathe properly which can lead to death.
